GiggleBush45 Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hi all, I have some power/load problem in my grow room where I'm having globes blow fortnightly. I was advised to change from the strong grow globes to the bloom globes as they use less and will hopefully stop the globes shitting themselves so often. Has anyone had to do this and if so how did they turn out? I have 3 photo clones at 2 weeks old. I was told all it does is creates a bit more stretch but that's all. Any advice is appreciated:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiggleBush45 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 The metal halide ones are the problem, change to hps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmac Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I'm a retired electrician, I'm not thinking the bulb is the problem I think your problem may be your transformer, power board , Look from bad kinks in power cable etc, A bad connection somewhere that's causing a intermittent fault Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo-2008 Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Ya micmac is onto it . Don't ever buy Growlush gear it is 99.90% crap an you will end up burning down the house. Regards,Dingo-2008. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merl1n Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) You can use HPS from start to finish, I do.I grow SCROG, so the slower growth is actually an advantage for me, less stretch between nodes.But I MUST agree with both Micmac and Dingo, Growlush gear is crap gear. I am yet to hear a good review for Growlush. Merl1n Edited March 4, 2021 by merl1n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
